Academy invites applications for training grants

The Royal Academy of Engineering is inviting applications for grants under its Engineering Professional Development Awards scheme.

The Award scheme, funded by the Office of Science and Innovation within the DTI, aims to help companies to stay competitive by providing funds to support professional training programmes for their engineers.

The Academy says the Awards are open to all UK companies in the engineering, manufacturing, construction and building service sectors.

Over 70 training grants worth a total of £315,000 have been made to UK companies, and the Academy is now inviting more applications for Awards to cover 2007/2008 training needs.

Robin Bond, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Lead Assessor for the scheme, said: "We have been making these awards for thirteen years now. Each year we are impressed with the quality of the submissions, particularly those who earn our bonus for exciting training schemes. Both employers and employees benefit from innovative training, and we are pleased to be able to support all sizes of companies and all kinds of training, from languages to business management."

The closing date for applications for 2007/2008 awards is 19 October 2007.
